About this listen

From international bestselling author Marc Levy comes a witty and beguiling novel of one woman’s unexpected journey to follow her destiny.

Alice Pendelbury believes everything in her life is pretty much in order - from her good friends to her burgeoning career. But even Alice has to admit it’s been an odd week. Not only has her belligerent neighbor, Mr. Daldry, suddenly become a surprisingly agreeable confidant, but he’s encouraging her to take seriously the fortune-teller who told her that only by traveling to Turkey can Alice meet the most important person in her life.

What’s more, the peculiarly insistent Mr. Daldry has even agreed to finance Alice’s trip - one that against all reason seems to be predestined. It’s on this journey, crazy from the outset and strangely irresistible, that Alice will find out that nothing in her life is real, that her past is not true, and that the six people she’s about to encounter will shape her future in ways she could never have dreamed.

Revised edition: Previously published as L’étrange voyage de Monsieur Daldry, this edition of The Strange Journey of Alice Pendelbury includes editorial revisions.

A first rate story and performance. My only complaint is that the narrator, while quite good, performs the story in a conspiratorial whisper, which I find odd and distracting. The characters are performed with nuance, the accents are believable, and overall it is worth the listen.

Interesting romantic book

The story is interesting and I liked it. It’s too long, though. The middle is boring. A lot of the storyline is too predictable. The narrator is above average. She does sound mysterious and sexy throughout the entire story.

Good story, just too long

A lot of reviews talk about the whispery narration. Yes it can be irritating at times, but overall there isn’t a ton of it and over she does a good job. So don’t let that steer you away from this book. It is delightful, surprising and a fully satisfactory ending!

Don’t Give Up Listening!

Very well developed story! Kept your attention and made you fall into it with the characters. A great story is one you feel sad at the end when it’s over

Captivating!
